Fresh Pajamas and Sheets

The joy found in clean laundry.

Gentle on my skin, soft and warm

A soothing reminder of peace,

Of sleep, of all that dreams hold

A sacred moment, a favorite time

Greeting me after a long day or night

-

Free, and personal, and wonderful

The fabric can be worn, or thin

Or faded, or pilled- no matter

The magic is still deeply woven within,

Found only after laundry day

-

Calling me to my slumber, or to read

An urgent reminder to relax, to just breathe

Offering me comfort and joy at day’s end

An incredible feat for fresh pajamas and sheets

Centering me, in textile-fueled dreams
